MANCHESTER
\nEverton beat Manchester United 1-0 on Monday to slow the home team\u2019s recent revival in a Premier League game that will be remembered for an early red card shown to Everton\u2019s Idrissa Gueye for striking teammate Michael Keane. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored with a superb strike in the 29th minute, after which Everton were forced to defend their lead.
\nUnited dominated the visiting 10 men in a one-sided second half but couldn\u2019t find a way past England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. \u201cThey were the better team, with 11 players or 10,\u201d United coach Ruben Amorim said. \u201cI felt from the first minute that we were not there with the same intensity so they deserve the win. If they have 10, let\u2019s push the opponent to the final third. We need to be near on the transition. We needed to be focused. We need to do more.\u201d
\nIt was United\u2019s first defeat since losing 3-1 at Brentford almost two months ago and the first time in 47 Premier League games that a visiting team has won at Old Trafford with 10 men.However, the night\u2019s unforgettable talking point came after 13 minutes. Gueye was furious at what appeared to be Keane\u2019s failure to pick up his pass inside the Everton penalty box.
\nBruno Fernandes stepped in and fired wide but an angry Gueye confronted Keane. Keane shoved Gueye, who responded with a slap to Keane\u2019s face. Referee Tony Harrington displayed the red card for \u201cviolent conduct.\u201d \u201cThe referee\u2019s call of red card to Gueye for violent conduct was checked and confirmed by VAR \u2014 with the action deemed to be a clear strike to the face of Keane,\u201d the league said in a social media post.
\nThe Senegalese was the first player to be sent off in the Premier League for fighting with a teammate since Stoke City\u2019s Ricardo Fuller saw red after clashing with Andy Griffin in 2008. Dewsbury-Hall later called it \u201cthe situation\u201d but downplayed the incident and said what mattered was Everton\u2019s reaction.\u201cI think it was just a moment of madness,\u201d the goalscorer said. \u201cIt was avoidable but Idrissa has apologized to us all at full-time and said his piece. We move on from it.
\nThe reaction from the lads after that is unbelievable. We could easily have crumbled and lost the game comfortably and if anything it made us grow as a team.\u201d David Moyes\u2019 team silenced the home crowd by taking the lead 16 minutes after Gueye was dismissed. Dewsbury-Hall\u2019s stunning 18-meter strike was a memorable one for the Everton stalwart, but it was an exceptional moment for the Toffees.
\nAfter the goal it was all United. The home side had 25 shots on Pickford\u2019s goal, compared to Everton\u2019s three at the other end. \u201cI will sleep well tonight,\u201d Dewsbury-Hall said. \u201cI am so thankful we got the three points.\u201d Another happy man was Moyes, who recorded his first win as a visiting coach to Old Trafford in the Premier League after 18 unsuccessful attempts.
\n\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of the players and the fans,\u201d said the Scot. \u201cWe got over the line with 10 men. We started the ball brilliantly well, got the sending off, the game changed. But we showed resilience. Manchester United are in pretty good form at the moment, so it was never going to be an easy game. Good goalkeeping when we needed it. The boys were brave.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
